Maruti Suzuki has officially launched its new-gen Dzire at an event today. The first thing you will notice is that the car is much nicer to look at and no more looks like a second fiddle to Swift hatchback!

Among the prominent design elements, you can observe that the boot has been integrated fairly decently, much better than the previous iterations and it also looks less chopped. The car appears to be lower and has more traits to be called as a sedan, one thing which Maruti has been trying to imbibe in this new-gen model. However, there is excessive chrome and that shining grille lip could have been muted a bit!
